An iconic piece of movie history is taking a leap from the silver screen to the auction block—the mechanical rhinoceros from‘Ace Ventura: When Nature Calls.’This hysterical prop, famous for its role in that unforgettable butt-birth scene featuring Jim Carrey, is expected to fetch between $4,000 and $8,000 when bidding opens at Propstore’s auction on March 27.
Measuring over ten feet in length, it boasts hydraulic hinges, a padded interior, and even a removable latex backside, just like the one that gave Ace his comedic exit. Made from fiberglass and Styrofoam, it’s less cumbersome than a real rhino, making it easier to display or…transport? Just imagine the conversations it would spark!
Considered one of the funniest scenes from the’90s, the rhino embodies the charm, outrageousness, and sheer silliness that defined that era of comedy. With‘Ace Ventura’being such a box office success, owning this prop would mean having a slice of pop culture history. Wouldn’t you love to have a piece of that to show off?
